  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Icelandair Media Kit Welcome Aboard Icelandair!
    ICELANDAIR MEDIA KIT WELCOME ABOARD ICELANDAIR! Icelandair is a transatlantic airline with decades of experience under its belt. Iceland’s unique position in the middle of the Atlantic makes it the ideal hub for an extensive flight network linking Europe and North America, and passengers can enjoy a stopover in Iceland at no additional airfare. Since the 1960s, Icelandair has encouraged passengers to enjoy a stopover and now there’s more choice and variety than ever before, with the service available on all transatlantic routes from 24 European destinations to 22 North American gateways (including latest additions San Francisco, Kansas City, Cleveland, Dallas and Baltimore). The airline, which celebrated its 80-year anniversary in 2017, continues to grow by expanding and renewing its fleet, highlighted in April 2018 when the airline received the first of 16 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. ENJOY ICELAND BEFORE YOU STEP OFF THE PLANE Flying with Icelandair provides passengers with an introduction to the country, plus Icelandic culture and food. Our goal is that you enjoy the journey as much as the destination. n Hours of entertainment on board: from the latest movie releases to multichannel stereo music, including a strong Icelandic offering. n A taste of Iceland: local delicacies on board. n All of Icelandair’s planes are named after Icelandic volcanoes and spots of natural beauty. Three of the airline’s fleet have specially painted liveries. ‘Þingvellir’ is named after one of Iceland’s national parks and was introduced in June 2018 to celebrate 100 years of Icelandic sovereignty. ‘Hekla Aurora’ and ‘Vatnajökull’ were introduced in 2015 and 2017 respectively; their liveries are inspired by the northern lights and Europe’s second largest glacier.

Choosing a seat with a solid wall behind me, I sit down just as the bomb detonates. The walls burst, the roof drops, my pants explode. People become bloody foam. Staring into my cup, I ignore their shrieks as my booth is heavily spackled with crimson clods. But my coffee is brown . and I am brown . Eating my food slowly, I derive little from it but texture. It’s bland, and it bores me, dulling my senses. I cram slice after slice of heavy bread into my mouth, chewing it with the occasional aid of my coffee, forgetting where I put the bomb or why I even brought it here. The Poles babble insanely, and I scowl, realizing I have totally forgotten their language. I cannot tell them how very sorry I am for my appalling behavior in Warsaw, during the ghetto assaults. Every Wednesday I come here and eat heavy bread for hours, waiting.
